.... and he said I was beautiful...



Recommended Posts

I don't know about many of you out there but I have not considered myself "beautiful" in a long time. But today I was at work riding in the back of a Constable's car (police car). I was not in trouble or anything like that :D , but for anyone who knows better, the back door only opens from the outside. Well the constable forgot to let me out at my office and I made a joke saying I would ride with him all day if he wanted me to. He apologized as he got out then opened my door for me and he resonded saying " I'm sorry, it's not every day I have a beautiful lady in the car" :) If I never thought I have lost much weight or walked more proudly or had a little more self confidence in my eyes.... it hit me straight in the heart today... and I felt beautiful too....

Not that weight measures beauty by far.... but for me, to hear that... feels amazing!

I hope you all feel as beautiful as I do...because you most certainly are!

Much success to you all!!

ok... I need definition...

NSV=?

DH=?

I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake, because some of these abbreviations are beyond my comprehension.

any others I should know?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
